  1. "When a study released last year showed enrollment at major seminaries in a decade-long decline, it fueled concerns about a crisis in the #American #rabbinate. As the old guard of #Conservative and #Reform #Judaism aged out of the workforce, who would replace them?

    But the #rabbinical #schools affiliated with those movements say reports of their demise were greatly exaggerated — and they have the numbers to prove it.

    The #JewishTheologicalSeminary and #HebrewUnionCollege, seminaries of the Conservative and Reform movements respectively, say they have enrolled their largest fall classes in 15 years. Enrollment at #Reconstructionist #RabbinicalCollege holds steady with nine students."

  3. "The oldest #rabbinical seminary in #Europe stands just a few streets from the #Danube in the heart of #Budapest. It has survived empires, #fascism and #communism. It outlasted the #Nazis, who turned it into #AdolfEichmann's headquarters for organizing the deportation of #Hungarian #Jews to the #deathcamps. It endured four decades of #communist rule as the only #rabbinicalseminary in #EasternEurope. Today, it remains a center of #Jewish learning.

    Its story encapsulates one of the great paradoxes of Jewish life in modern Europe.

    #Hungary is often described by Jews themselves as one of the safest countries on the continent in which to live openly as Jews.

    [...]

    Yet Hungary also consistently ranks among the European countries with the highest levels of #antisemitic attitudes."

  8. "Days after #Hebrew Union #College graduated its final #rabbinical class in #Cincinnati, a new #Jewish #seminary has its eyes on the #school’s #campus — and wants the state of #Ohio to bestow the prize on them.

    The College for Contemporary #Judaism, which aims to become a new home for liberal #rabbinicalstudents in the Midwest, on Thursday added its voice to a lawsuit against #HUC brought by Ohio #AttorneyGeneral #DaveYost. The state’s suit claims that HUC, the #Reform #rabbinicalschool, violated state #nonprofit law and misled its donors by shuttering its historic Cincinnati campus this year.

    In its motion to intervene, the new college argues that it should be the rightful steward of HUC’s campus, as well as all other Cincinnati assets of the #Reform movement mainstay. They include the #KlauLibrary, the #AmericanJewishArchives, the #SkirballMuseum and hundreds of millions of dollars given by donors who believed HUC would “permanently” remain in the city."
